I am living in a city that's kinda odd
You know the rich get richer and the poor get god
I see all the pretty ladies walking up and down
taking funny selfies to feed their bland accounts
But someday I'll hit the road again
back to where it all began
Living in a country town
where I lay my burden down
Living in a country town
where I walk on sacred ground
Living in a country town
nothing really brings me down
Living in a country town
where I'd love to hang around
once I'm old and settled down
Hey you nameless girl what are you waiting for?
Didn't you want to start another civil war?
Now you're halfway past to a capitalist
counting all the shiny diamonds on your pretty wrist
But someday I'm coming home again
where I'll be a wiser man
Living in a country town
where I lay my burden down
Living in a country town
where I walk on sacred ground
Living in a country town
nothing really brings me down
Living in a country town
where I'd love to hang around
once I'm old and settled down
Pretty people, fancy cars
Touch the sky, reach the stars
Lust and pain, love and sex
That's what makes our life the best
Naughty girls, silly boys
Greedy pigs, lots of toys
Down and out, up and down
The crazy circus is in town
Overeat, undereat
Semi-consicous, semi-sweet
Profit lost, lost and found
Money makes the world go round
But someday I'll hit the road again
back to where it all began
Living in a country town
where I lay my burden down
Living in a country town
where I walk on sacred ground
Living in a country town
nothing really brings me brings me down
Living in a country town
where I'd love to hang around
once I'm old and settled down
